Preparation

In a food processor purée the preserved kumquats and the syrup with the lemon juice and the mustard. In a shallow baking pan pour the kumquat glaze over the bacon, bake the bacon in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven, basting it several times with the glaze, for 30 minutes, and let it stand, covered loosely with foil, for 10 minutes before slicing. Transfer the bacon to a platter and garnish it with fresh kumquats and the parsley.

I made this last
year for St.
Patrick's Day and it
was a big hit. So
much so that I'm
going to make it
again this year.
Irish Boiling Bacon
is not available
here, so I have to
order it online.
Worked out great. I
used my own candied
kumquats that I had
put up myself, but
I've also made the
glaze with orange
marmalade. It's
great both ways

So maybe I'm a kumquat wimp, but this recipe just didn't do it for me. The kumquats had kind of a bitter-citrusy taste. Maybe if someone could think of something to offset this?? I tried jam and white sugar but neither helped.

I made this with canadian bacon. And after searching 3 grocery stores, I wasn't able to find preserved kumquats; I used orange marmelade with a bit of lemon juice instead.
